#6 That's bad, AC. I'd already started doing the arithmatic in my head when I got to the last sentence, and I laughed so hard I completely lost my place. Which is just as well, since I was clearly well on my way to the wrong answer.

#7 There are 15 men in Mohammed-Phillippe's jihad cell when US forces attack Fallujah. 3 are killed by snipers as they move up to their assigned positions. 1 blows himself trying to rig a booby-trap. The remainder split into two equal groups. One group is wiped out when a JDAM hits the chicken coop they are hiding in. Two others are killed when a tank shell hits their minaret. One is knifed in the back by an irate civilian who gives away their position. How many have survived the battle?
A: One, the guy who shot Mohammed-Phillippe and surrendered.
